Merging back

Sometimes growth add pressure and highlight your selfsabotage and where you could use more alignment…

The more you become aware of your own living and how you help yourself with higher frequency – the more you are able to align, rest, receive, simplify – go through your heart, listen within.

How do we remove the pressure?

By listening to it, the pressure is valuable information asking you to pause, feel your emotions, sense your heart. Yesterday was a really busy day (like many other days lately) people were walking in front of me, or crossing my path and slowing down my paze, which for me is a clear sign I always try to listen to.

I went to a daylong seminar, the endspeaker talked about change management, leadership, and interiordesign in a more transformative way, adding we are entering a more value based worklife, work where we can grow and transform and of course where we love to come. It reminded me of my very first job after I was educated as an interior designer, I was offered a job in a very innovative Swedish furniture company, part of the contract working as an employee was to participate in an annual 3-day meditation retreat, and to meditate every day…that is what the speaker was talking about, work transforming you. But for me it’s also about working a place where you feel aligned. The presentation made me reflect..but there was more yesterday.

After the seminar I went to celebrate my fathers birthday and next to his front door I saw a little bumlebee at the ground, I wasn’t sure if it was resting or dead, hours later when I left my dad, the little bumlebee was dead…I just felt a little mew….I felt that there was some information for me in that moment, life is short, remember to gather the nectar of life while you can.

In this period I have a lot of information from the outside and inside which is saying – listen.

I feel tired, so I definitely need to slow down, I feel stress building up at my work (as a designer), and during the day I feel Im a lot in my mind because there is so many projects, which is topped with some health issues – so there is a lot of information at the moment, a theme where rest and more aligning moment to moment is required.

For me and probably also for you in periods, you recognize what Im describing. We can ask ourself gentle questions like; do I miss something in my life, am I aligned with my dreams, my values, is it old strategies being loud or is it small adjustments we need to do in dailylife…

We dont have to make a lot of changes the minute we sense ourself or make changes, but become still and sense our own inner and outer information and nudges, help ourself become aligned…Part of the process is to shed our old identities and strategies.

When we are not offering ourself what we need, it add up the pressure and suddenly we become unavailable for ourself and feel disconnected. Remember ego wants to be more and do more, be right, identifying with achievements.

…perhaps its a matter of sitting quietly for a moment, accepting – Merging back with our own soul.
